NASA Solar storm warning
This is pretty scary stuff, solar storms are known to be a high risk to technology on Earth. Looks like if anything happens we won't get much of a warning, We'd Have a 30-Minute Warning Before a Killer Solar Storm Hits Earth
Something to consider.

NASA Citizen Science
This is something attendees at the STEM group could get involved with and use the group as a meet point to discuss projects and ideas being worked on.
Lets put Torbay on the map by building an active science community
Citizen Science Projects
NASA’s citizen science projects are collaborations between scientists and interested members of the public. Through these collaborations, volunteers (known as citizen scientists) have helped make thousands of important scientific discoveries. More than 410 NASA citizen scientists have been named as co-authors on refereed scientific publications. Want to work on some real NASA science? Click on one of the 34 projects below to get started. NASA citizen science projects are open to everyone around the world, not limited to U.S. citizens or residents. Projects with the
icon can be done by anyone, anywhere, with just a cellphone or laptop.
If you're note quite ready for this yet, then perhaps form a community so we can help each other build the skills and support each other.
